This attractive Belgian 9 Franc stamp features a beautifully detailed European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) shown among thistle blossoms, a classic symbol of its natural habitat. Issued by Belgique-België, the design combines fine multicolor intaglio-style printing with botanical accuracy.
The stamp bears a crisp Belgian postal emblem cancel—a crowned post horn within a stylized outline—positioned centrally over the bird, giving the piece added postal history interest.
A great addition for collectors of birds on stamps, Belgian definitives, or thematic nature issues.
